Robert Pattinson Possibly Telling Tall Tales Again

Oh Rob – is this another furphy.  Here are two stories out of the Vulture event with Rob today:

The unwashed, skinny Connie fancies himself a counterculture philosopher, and Pattinson found the perfect real-life model for the character: a Queens man who lives in a hole in the ground.

“It’s the best story ever,” Pattinson told moderator Stacey Wilson Hunt at Vulture Festival L.A. on Saturday. “This guy lived in this hole in the ground and burrowed through into someone’s house. He would sneak into the daughter’s bedroom every day. It was a parent’s absolute nightmare. He lived in a hole attached to these people’s house.”

Rob also mentioned where he found his tuna diet inspiration:

Working with Guy Pearce on 2014’s The Rover, Pattinson stumbled upon that actor’s go-to weight-loss trick. “I remember going into his room,” Pattinson said, “and there were hundreds of cans of tuna.” But, he continued, the tuna-only method has its drawbacks: “By the end, you smell very strange.”
